Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!

I can only imagine how thrilling it would be to be paired with one of those while driving an SS car at a combo race. LOL

Ed, you should stage and put it in park in case you fall asleep waiting on your tree to come down. Safety first.

Ed we have a U/SA ford escort that runs with us at the SSSSA combo's. I have had to run him numerous times on the 1/4 and 1/8 mile. The wait is crazy long at the start and you have to lift about 4 car lengths before you get to their bumper. I have a pretty good win loss ratio on him. He is tough though. There are 2 or three other U/SA car that run with us regularly.

Hutt1,

HP rating on SVO is way high (probably for marketing reasons) and probably not workable. Turbo Coupe and Mustang are much better choices.

It is my first post on the forum,so be easy on me .I have been following the Dime Rocket thread sense the first post.My ? is would the 78 Camaro with a 250 be a good dime rocket.If I have done my math right it would be a V/SA car.

Personally, I think that it would be about the worst combo that you could do in a 78 Camaro and I've raced inline 6 cylinder Chevys for an awfully long time. You can do a 2V 305 combo, which is a pretty darned good deal. You could make the car an 80 and do a 229 combo or make it an 81 and do a 267. These are all head and shoulders better than the 250.

Billy I respect what you have to say large part of why I asked the ? . Only reason I asked about this combo was I had a complete 78 Camaro with a 250 .I had given some thought about the 267 combo and running it as a U/SA but have had trouble finding the motor to build this combo

78 Camaro type LT makes U/SA with 305 2V!

Might not love it if you were sitting in the SS car, estimating when to get on the 2 step. Did that when running crew cab doolies at local no-box et brackets before I changed to SS. That's why I won't run combo races. Saying to myself one thousand one, two thousand one, three thousand one...... LOL
